Automatic Speech Recognition Engineer – Voice Intelligence Research

About our Team

We invite you to one of Europe's largest speech and language processing teams. Our lab is where engineers, researchers, and language experts work together on innovative products for the multilingual European market. We use cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence techniques, big-scale data, and adequate computational resources to develop future human language technologies.

We work closely with other Samsung R&D teams to develop the next-generation intelligent personal assistant Bixby. With Bixby, we change the way billions of users access, explore, and interact with knowledge, information, and services. Bixby uses a natural language user interface to perform various tasks on Samsung devices.

Join the Samsung Bixby Team and create the future of voice services.
